STAMFORD — Enjoy classic rock and blues and music that is rich, moving and relentlessly catchy at The Ferguson Library's Adult Summer Reading Club Finale Concert featuring Drew Bordeaux.

The finale party will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 19 from 7-9 p.m. at the library's Harry Bennett Branch. (Special reception for members with invitation at 6:30 p.m.)

Whether playing solo with an acoustic guitar or on a violin, Bordeaux never fails to captivate and entertain any audience.

Growing up in Westchester, N.Y., he began playing violin at age 6, and then picked up a guitar five years later. He gained local fame in high school by composing and conducting orchestral works, starring as concertmaster of school groups, and performing in the New York State All-State String Orchestra, before he attended Harvard University. There, Bordeaux immersed himself in the vibrant Boston music scene. Before long he was not only playing in the Harvard Pops Orchestra, but performing for thousands in the Northeast and Bermuda as violinist and guitarist for Harvard’s historic Hasty Pudding Theatricals organization. He also participated in sessions for artists like DJ J Period and Lauryn Hill, and played alongside British vocalist Tom Lowe in the band Tommy and the Tigers, as well as Dave Bickler of Survivor.

Despite all of these achievements, Bordeaux is still first and foremost a songwriter. He has composed dozens of songs and performed at an impressive list of venues, including Boston’s The Middle East and Sanders Theater, NYC’s The Bitter End, Ace of Clubs, and CBGB, and as a regular at NYC’s Alphabet Lounge.
